Peguis flood protection, housing and recovery update
By Peguis First Nation Special Projects and Consultation Unit
Peguis First Nation continues to move forward with immediate and long-term plans to protect the community from flooding, restore damaged properties, improve roads and drainage, and construct new housing.
The work now underway has two main parts. The first is to provide immediate protection through individual property dikes, a central community dike, road improvements and better drainage. The second is to develop a permanent flood protection system based on off-stream water-storage reservoirs.

Glenn Hudson, former Peguis First Nation chief
By Trevor Greyeyes
Summertime is here with the sun shining brightly and does anybody want to talk about the next Peguis First Nation chief and council election in spring 2027.
The last election had its opening day (advance polling) on March 28, 2023, with April 6, 2023, as the actual election day.
If that were still true, we’re about 240 plus days away from the next election and I have no idea when you can register or what it takes to register to run for chief and council. More to follow on registration and requirements in months to come.
Or about eight months away if we are going by the calendar.
Let’s talk about it though.
